When you contract a company to install a fire suppression system there are many hidden cost you must be aware of.

1. Fire system quotes do not normally include the cost of the qutomatic gas valve. These units can run between $ 175.00 to $ 350.00 dollars.
2. Many Companies require a 50 % down payment before ordering your fire system.
3. Many pipeing factors are taken into concideration when pricing your next fire system such as how far away the cylinder will be from the vent hood and how far away the pull station will be from the cylinder.

As an example if you have a 10 ft vent hood with a grill, 2 fryers, and a 6 burner stove top with griddle . Also a 1 inch gas line running to these appliances. The quote below would look like this.

Fire System  -----------  $ 1400.00 dollars including pipeing and labor

1 inch Gas valve ------- $ 245.00 dollars including hook up

"There could be a labor charge of $ 200 or More"

So you can expect to be out of pocket as much as $1000.00 before the system is ordered and upon completition of the job out another $1000.00 dollars.
